weight of r/st141/2?

[sam-131]

and now begins the takumi tax on coronas my evil plan has come ture

[roadsailing]

i just did some research, this is partially related to vehicle mass.

if i'm reading correctly, you can legally put a 1UZFE into an RT without problems (apart from the usual problems of course)



could turbo it if you wanted to as well

mind you, i shouldnt be thinking about this, the whole point of a daily is to leave it the hell alone

yeah, well the sale on my car fell through, but i still grabbed that AA63 x member anyway

had some time to kill today so i went to the wreckers to grab some other parts, and while i was there had another bit of a look over a few.. found out there are some versions that are 22r (injected) and live axle.. which i think is a cool combo..

maybe we should colate some data as i expect theres not much around on particular versions.

i always thought it went

st141. 2s, borg box, borg diff (live)
rt141 as above but with 21rc?

st142 2s borg box and irs (f?)
rt142 22re, w box? and irs

post if you can exact specifics and the build code it had. also include 1 version of head lights too if possible.

I can only recall seeing:

ST141 2SC, available with borg warner 4 or 5 speed, with borg warner
RT142 22RE, Toyota W5x 5sp (although the build plate doesn't seem to state the code), borg warner live axle
RT142 22RE, Toyota W5x 5sp (although the build plate doesn't seem to state the code), Toyota F-series IRS

As far as autos go the RT142s were available with the 3sp+Overdrive and the ST141 I'm not sure about... but I can safely say that an automatic 2S Corona would be the most unexciting car in history.

I've never seen an RT141 or ST142, perhaps available internationally but certainly not on the domestic market.

From what I've seen the IRS is more common in the later models (eg. '86 rather than '84) and also more common in the up-spec Avante.

I'm not sure if it's still done the same, but a few years back when I was playing with engine conversions they based the calculation off the base model sedan (or closest equivalent - eg wagon if there was no sedan variant) with the heaviest engine & driveline combination available from factory... which means you're at the mercy of that weight rather than the weight of your actual car.

In the case of the RT142 would be the CSi (base model 22R) with the auto (heavier than manual) and probably the IRS rear end (I assume heavier than live axle). I'd consult an engineer in advance before spending any real money on the idea, but you should be right.

Either that or just use a 13BT which you'll piss in!

I've got a Csi wagon 1986
RT142
22RE full electronic distributor
4 speed auto
live axle borg, which all wagons would be

Same as me, she's an awesome daily.. if not a little flightly in the wet!

Thats almost an understatement My sister used to drive one and i hated it. The RT142 i raced changed my outlook on em

I've owned an ST141 and two RT142s. You're preaching to the converted bruvva!

just wondering if you've made any progression on this project Dimitri? might be heading down the same path my self soon just depends which corona i pick up, ST or RT.

You can save lots by ditching the heavy bumper reos
They are THE choice of toyota modification i think
well if you're a tightass like me
Dan

what to you run rather than the OEM reo? just zip tie/bolt the bars to the car or is there another lighter reo you can use?

any hints as to what you might be doing?

Dan

please elaborate on this.....or is it as simple as literally removing the reos and runnin thin air in the bumpers?

never went ahead with it.

still in the back of my mind.

would probably do st141 w/gen1 3sge>w5x>ra60shaft>ra60 T diff with lsd.

kinda of an over size 4age ke70..

only "problem" is you need "oversized" rims to make them look good. like 8.5j at the very least.

lolz... i wouldnt call it a problem... more of a reasion to get some nice dished wheels

i guess the best thing about these is that there always around for sale and for dirt cheep as well... well st141's at leased.
